Multiquip FS2/FS2SP Concrete SAW- Initial START-UP, Place the Choke Lever in the Open position

FS2/FS2SP CONCRETE SAW— INITIAL START-UP

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to operate the saw until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections have been read and understood. Depending on engine manufacturer, operating steps may vary. See engine operating manual.

The following start-up procedure makes reference to a HONDA 13 HP Engine (Manual Start)

1.Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and that it is raised above the surface you are about to saw.

2.Connect a hose (water source) to the water input port of the

saw (see page 50, item 2, Water System Assembly), and test for adequate flood water [ 4 to 5 gallons per minute (15 to 19 LT/min)], and/or misting water [steady geometric aero- sol spray at 40 psi].

3.Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 19) to the "ON" position.

Figure 19. Fuel Valve Lever

4.Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 20) in the "ON" position.

Figure 20. Engine ON/Off Switch

5.PULL the Console Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 21) to the "PULL-ON" position.

NOTE

The CLOSED position of the choke lever enriches the fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine.The OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal operation after starting, and for restarting a warm engine.

6. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 22) in the "OPEN" position

Figure 22. Choke Lever

CAUTION:

The engine governor speed has been set at the factory. Changing the governor speed could damage the blade and/or the saw.

7.Place the throttle lever (Figure 23) halfway between fast and slow for starting. All sawing is done at full throttle. The

engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum blade operating speeds.
